What is Defense in Depth and Why It Matters in 2025

Understand DiD’s Swiss cheese model to stop 2025 ransomware threats.

Defense in Depth (DiD) is like Swiss cheese—multiple layers where holes in one are covered by others, unlike outdated "castle-and-moat" models. In 2025, with ransomware attacks up 84%, DiD prevents breaches by combining firewalls, encryption, and monitoring. Example: A phishing email slips through email filters but gets caught by endpoint detection.

Target: SMB owners, non-technical staff.
